Oswald, mentioned ns the possible successor to Eric A. Walk'* 1 * as president of the University, visited the University thn. weekend. Oswald, who is vice president of the University of California at Berkeley, attended the Penn State - Ohio Uni versity football game with his wife and son, and later at tended a reception at the home of Col. Gerald F. Russell, assistant to the provost. Oswald arrived at the University Saturday morning and toured the campus by air and on foot with his family and Russell before the the football game Oswald said he -enjoyed the visit very much as did Mrs. Oswald and my son John." The Oswald’s sat in the west stands at the game at the 30-yard line. “The only bad part about the whole trip,” Oswald said, “was when Penn State was behind 3-0, but I was assured that wouldn’t last'too long.” Sunday afternoon. Oswald visited Old Main and talked with Stuart Patton, professor of agriculture and member of the Senate committee who did not meet Oswald at his July interview. Before leaving the State College area, Oswald and his family toured the residential areas and saw the Episcopal church. Oswald visited the University at the invitation of Russell on behalf of the Trustees. Paul W. Bixby. Senate committee chairman, said the committee decided not to meet with Oswald last Saturday since his visit was to bo a “social one.” The announcement of a new University president is expected to come “before Dec. 1”, according to Roger W. Rowland, president of the Board of Trustees. Rowland indi cated that the special Trustee “search” committee “hopes to have a recommendation for the executive committee to con sider “'at its Nov. 14 meeting.” A full Board is needed to approve the recommenda tions of the Board committee before the announcement can be made Ten days notice must be given before a full Board meeting can be held and considered legal. The full Board was scheduled to meet on Nov. 14 but was cancelled when several members said they could not attend. Five members of the 32-mcmber Board are needed to call or cancel a full Board meeting. Oswald was one of three men invited to the University last July to meet with members of a special University Senate advisory committee to the Board of Trustees. The c-ther men were Gordon J. F. MacDonald, vice chancellor of research and graduate affairs at the University of California nt Santa Barbara, and Stephen H. Spurr, dean of the grad uate school at the University of Michigan. All three men were on the Senate committee’s “A” desirability list which was submitted to the Trustees on LTay 15. The desirability lists were compiled by the com mittee from the more than 100 names submitted to it. The Senate committee placed each man on one of the five lists, from "A” to "E”, on the basis of biographical data secured ly them. Follovnng the interviews, each of the three men were Name Change Proposed For Discussions Office By ROB McHUGH Collegian Staff Writer University Prrsident Erie A. Walker this week wtfl rcfviv a proposal recommending that the * Office j\*r Student Discussions be renamed tin* OPlio* lor Student Ini lusion. The recomnnTiJcUiun was formed Sunday at an open meeting of l special committee set up to nominate candidates for a permanent direc tor of the office. Abr.ut 20 non-members attend ed the meeting. Coiriivlt'co Mcmhcrs ' Student members of the committee are: Ted Thompson, pres’dent of the Undergraduate Stu dent Government; Ron Batchelor, president of the Organization of Student Government Associations; Hal Sudborough, president of the Graduate Sti deni A.wieiat'on, and Jim Dorris, editor of The Da ; ly collegian, Faculty member* of the rommittec include: Hugh B. Urban, associate professor of human development; YViJliam A. Steele, professor of chemistry; Richard G. Cunningham, head of the department o'' nr-ohanical engineering, and Margaret B. Matson, professor of sociology. Members or the committee argued that the name change would better TU the functions of the office as defined by the committee. At an Oct. J 2 meeting, the committee adopted a definition for the o'fice: “The Office for Student Discussions, through the director, shall seek to insure the inclusion or students’ interests in the decision-making process* in the University.” The committee agreed at that time that the job of the d rector would not be to obtain a con sensus of student opinion for presentation to those making University decisions, but to insure the presentation of the range of student opinions. The committee also agreed to recom mend that the director have access to all com mittees within the University. Delays Nominee Discussion Although Sunday's meeting was to be used for discussion of nominees for the office, the committee delayed this action. Sudborough argued it was necessary to define the role of the office before nominees could be considered. "I'm under the impression that there are a lot of groups and people who will not consider Uiljr Daily (EoUryt 10 Pages Sees University; Weekend Here rated separately by members of the Senate committee and these ratings were submitted to the Trustees on July 31. The concensus of the ratings of the committee as a whole showed Spurr as first, followed by MacDonald and Oswald. Robert S. Bernstein, graduate student m biochem istry and student member of the committee, said as far as qualifications go,” any one of the three men interviewed would be very qualified to serve as University president.” Oswald reportedly left his former post as president of the University of Kentucky for the University of California as a result of a disagreement with the Kentucky legislature over academic freedom. Though Oswald gave no reason at the lime of his resignation, the April 22 Chronicle on Higher Education said Oswald was “concerned about what he considered threats to academic freedom in Kentucky,** The first threat, the Chronicle said, was the creation of a Kentucky Un-American Activities Committee in 1968 by the general assembly. The second was the criticism of three university faculty members, who were engaged in a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the committee, by Kentucky Governor Louie B. Nunn. The third threat, according to the Chronicle, was a statement by Nunn, who said,” It seems to me we are going to take a long, hard look at some of the people to whom our youth are exposed.” The fourth, and most controversial, threat was an unsuccessful effort by the Kentucky general assembly to pass a speaker-ban law for state-supported institutions. The State Journal said, “there may have been at least a twinge of politics involved in the resignation of Dr. John W. Oswald as president of the University of Kentucky.” Second USG Election Fills Four Vacant Fraternity Seats By LARRY REIBSTEIN and STEVE SOLOMON Collegian Staff Writers Four fraternity candidates were elected to the Un dergraduate Student Govern ment yesterday in an election marked by an unusually light turnout. The election was held after the USG Supreme Court last week voided the returns for fraternity candidates in the USG general elections. The this office until its role is defined.” Sudborough .said. lie added that the committee “won’t be able to consider certain people until the office's role is well-defined.” Members of the committee agreed that the d.scussion of candidates should wait until they received assurances that Walker and Charles L. Lewis, vice president for stu dent affairs, would accept the new definition of the office and its Junctions. Donald Rung, associate professor o f mathematics, questioned the functions defined for the director. “A director representing the spectrum of student opinion is absurd,” Rung said, lie added that there is “no way of sampling” all student opinion. “J prefer to see the idea of an ombudsman pursued.” Rung said, a director who would “at tempt to redress serious grievances the system closes itself against.” Committee members again discussed whether the director should have access to all committees “is .something no one could guaran tee.” Access to Committees Thompson suggested that whenever the office is involved with an Issue, Walker could write a charge giving it access to relevant committees. Steele said It should be the director’s job to make sure there is an answer to a specific complaint or issue. “It’s not his responsibility (to insure) that this be a satislactory answer.” he added. “We’ve got no way to guarantee that any particular point of view will he bought,” Urban commented. He called the office “a mechanism designed to provide an opportunity for students to speak lor themselves."* The committee also discussed whether the of fice should be formed as a voice of minority groups on campus. Thompson called for an of* ficc “with power to address itself to an issue, not to (be concerned with) the minority vs, the majority.” Earlier Thompson said, M lf we’re to set up an office to stand for ‘the silent majority,* I see no need because we already know how much this majority speaks up. We just can’t create an of fice for silence.” Steele told the other members, “If you make him (the director) an advocate, you’re required to make him an advocate of the majority.” Published by Students of The Pennsylvania State University University Park, Pa., Tuesday Morning, October 28, 1969 Supreme Court ruled that “un due influence” by pollsitters prevented a fair election. In its decision, the Court upheld a complaint that voters were told they must vote for a full slate of candidates, which is contrary to USG election rules. Election Results The winning candidates and their vote totals are as follows: —Sandy Lipsman (Phi Kappa Theta) - 64 —Gary Rochestie (Zeta Beta Tau) - 52 —Jeff Miehelsou (Sigma Alpha Mu) - 47 —Barry Newman (Alpha Epsilon Pi) - 46 The two losing candidates are Barry Roberts (Zctft Beta Tau) and David Rosenberg (Alpha Epsilon Pi). According to Steve Smollow, a member of the elections commission, about 135 of the more than 2,500 fraternity stu dents voted. Fraternity houses were re quired to submit a list, of their membership to allow the elec tions commission to validate fraternity affiliation. Smallow said a few houses Half-Time Reserved for Blacks L.A. 198 To Issue Statement By RENA ROSENSON Collegian Staff Writer The possibility of plans for a half-time demonstration during the Boston College-Penn State football game Saturday were revealed last night at the regular meeting of the New University Conference. According to Wells Keddie, assistant pro fessor of labor studies, the Liberal Arts 198 class with the help of the Black Student Union, the NUC and unaffiliated participants have reserved half-time to present a statement to the public. The proposed format of the demonstration includes the reading of the statement by one person surrounded by all other participants on the field, according to Keddie. Keddie refused to give details of the state ment except to say that it is “a very* strong statement” und “not one which merely discusses the sins of the whites.” He said the statement will be presented In writing to all members of the press in the press box at half-time, but the contents will remain a secret until that time. Keddie said Donn Bailey, Instructor of liberal arts 198, hopes to have television cov erage of the demonstration. He said it is hoped that the demonstration will be a half-hour documentary staged around the demonstration, the statement and audience reactions. NUC has IFC Votes To Revise Visitation Restrictions By BETTI RIMER Collegian Staff Writer Women may now visit fraternity houses on a 24-hour basis according- to a bill passed at last night’s Interfraternity Council meeting. Action on the bill was taken without the approval of the Ad ministrative Committee on Student Af fairs which favorc'd further investigation of the bill. Harv Reeder. IFC president, said the objections to the bill raised by the Ad ministrative committee concerned IFC and its policies rather than the nature oi the bill itself. According to Reeder the committee questioned the changing role of the Board of Control. He explained that the policy of the Board of Control was reinterpreted last spring which resulted m a loosening of controls on the fraternities. Presently the Board may only check private frater nity room if there is a complaint or an apparent problem Men Need Not Be Policed Reeder told the committee the frater nity men did not need to be policed and the individual btotherhood should be allowed to make its own regulations. “IFC should not exercise in loco parentis over fraternity houses.” Reeder stated. “Furthermore,” Reeder said, “visitation rights are a privilege and a right that every fraternity man should have. He should have the same privileges as men I wing in apartments or even women for that matter." The Administrative committee in dicated to Reeder that if IFC would no longer exercise discipline over lratcrnity Sudboroug To Year By MIKE WOIK Collegian Staff Writer Graduate Student Asso ciation policy this year will be directed to make this "the year of the black," ac cording to Hal Sudborough, GSA president. Three major resolutions for GSA plicy were proposed by Sudborough at last night’s GSA meeting. The proposals were: —the establishment o f scholarship funds “for equal opportunity, to assist culturally different, as well as economically and socially disadvantaged graduate and undergraduate students enroll ed or planning to enroll at the University.” —that the GSA council main- did not submit the list, thus disqualifying their members from voting. The Supreme Court will rule today on a charge that Ray DeLevie, winner of a West Halls seat, had terminated his residence hall contract and moved to an apartment before oeing certified. USG Supreme Court Chief Justice Harry Hill said that impeachment proceedings will be taken by Congress if DeLevie’s alleged move is found unconstitutional. Refers to Constitution DeLevie said last night that he did not attempt to violate the USG constitution. He refer red to a clause in the con stitution which he said implied that a change of residence was not enough to disqualify his seat. The clause reads: "An elected congressman shall retain his seat on the Congress despite a change in his place of residence, as long as he retains his status as a matriculated student, and meet any other requirements set by the Con gress and the University.” "1 was a legal candidate and was legally elected,” DeLevie said. been asked to assist cameramen in getting the desired shots of the entire demonstration, and in “protecting the cameras.” In other business, suggestions for activities for the Nov. 13-14-Momtorium were discussed. NUC Is in charge of getting its members and supporters to participate in Friday’: workshops, and therefore decided not to partlcL pate in Thursday’s activities and Saturday's march on Washington, but to concentrate their efforts on Friday’s activities. According to Diane Weiss, (graduate political science-State College), the idea of the workshops is to “delve more intensively into the issues which were only touched upon during the October Moratorium.” She said the Coalition for Peace, the group In charge o' organizing and publicizing the Moratorium, has taken over the entire Hctzel Union Building for Friday’s workshops. Miss Weiss said the format of the workshops has not officially been decided, but between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. separate workshops will be held in rooms all over the building The discussions will be informal, she said, and the leaders will decide on a specific topic for discussion well In advance of that day. According to Fred Reisz of the Lutheran Ministry, the purpose of the workshops Is “to get away from the five minute speeches with no interchange.” houses, the University would establish its own means of checking. Reeder said that at the last meeting of the Administrative committee, com mittee members issued a statement which raised possible technicalities in volved in the bill. “We had hoped for a yes or a no answer, ” Reeder said. At last night’s meeting, Reeder urged council members .to take action on the visitation bill. “The legitimate channels of change have become clogged," Reeder said. “The action, or rather inaction, of the committee h a personal insult to one of the longest standing groups on campus who have always shown themselves to be responsible in handling their activities,” Reeder said. ”1 don’t forsce 24-hour visitation a* turning fraternities into a brothel.” he added. Support for Visitation A referendum circulated earlier in the week indicated wide support for both the visitation bill and action by IFC in the event that the council did not receive the approval of the Administrative Com mittee on Student A'fairs. Out of 1,517 votes, 95 per cent of the fraternity men voted ye- to the question “Do you support recent IFC action to give the individual fraternity man the right to exercise the prerogative of en tertaining women guests 24-hours a day in fraternity houses.” To the question “Would you be in support of IFC should it decide to implc ment a policy of 24-hour visitation without the explicit approval of the Ad ministrative Committee on Student Af- h Directs Resolutions of the Black' Policy tain full participation in the nominees will bo available b\ GSA panic ipntion on Senate University Senate. the next scheduled meeting, cumin.Uoes will ' the —establishment of a policy when a vote will take place graduate students a more of increased GSA public The proposed scholarship direct role in implementing relations to “increase com- fund must be submitted for ap useful programs for th e munication among graduate proval to the University Burnd University, accord.ng to Sad students, and with the of Trustees, whose next full borough University community.” meeting takes place i n Public redations bet w con GSA voting procedure die January.

M-Day By ALLAN YODER Collegian Editorial Editor A letter to the editor from the dean of the College of Engineering criticising the thrust of the Oct. 15 Vietnam War Moratorium prompted 81 persons to endorse the letter and return it with signatures to TTie Collegian office. In his letter. Nunzio J. Palladino. dean of the college, said, “We chastised ourselves on Oct. 15. It is time to turn our pressure for peace upon Hanoi.” Palladino asked readers who agreed with his letter to sign it and return it to The Collegian Since last 'Thursday when the letter was published. The Col legian has received not only singly signed copies, but ones accompanied by as many as 48 signatures. The letter was also printed in the Centre Daily Times, which reported yesterday that eight signed copies were returned to that newspaper. In a front page column, the CDT said, “A grand total of eight responses have been received. Any more?" One person who agreed with Palladino’s letter was the ad viser to the Young Americans for Freedom. Harold G Richard, also a research assis tant in the University’s Laboratory, added to his en dorsement: "I'm surprised that you (The Collegian) were even willing to include the let ter in The paper.
